Washington: US President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday appointed Vadodara native Kash Patel to the powerful post of FBI Director. This appointment makes Kash Patel the most powerful Indian-American in the Trump administration. This reflects Trump’s intention to make major changes in America’s top law enforcement agency and remove alleged conspirators from the government. This announcement by Trump has created an uproar in Washington.
US President-elect Donald Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social on Saturday, “I am proud to announce that Kash Patel will be the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Kash is a brilliant lawyer, innovator, and America First warrior. He has exposed corruption, defended justice, and ensured the safety of the American people.
44 year old Kash Patel’s real name is Kashyap Pramod Patel. His parents immigrated to the United States from Canada in the 1970s. However, they first came from Uganda. Kash Patel’s mother is from Tanzania while his father is from Vadodara. However, Kash Patel was born in New York in 1980. Kash Patel had earlier said in an interview that we are Gujaratis.
The appointment of Kash Patel as FBI Director follows Trump’s recognition of the need for sweeping changes in the law enforcement and intelligence agencies of the US government. Kash Patel’s appointment likely reflects significant changes to the FBI’s structure and operations.
Kash Patel played an important role in the Russian conspiracy case. Trump praised Kash Patel for his dedication to truth, accountability and the Constitution on this issue. However, it is not clear whether Kash Patel’s appointment will get the approval of the Republican-led Senate. Kash Patel has recommended strict action against government officials leaking secret information and amendment in the law against journalists. Patel said, we will find anti-Trump conspirators in the government and media. We will take criminal or civil action against them.
Kash Patel has also held important positions during Donald Trump’s previous tenure as President. In the last few weeks of the Trump administration in 2017, Kash Patel served as Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense. At that time, Kash Patel had played an important role in eliminating ISIS, Al-Qaeda terrorists like Al-Baghdadi and Qasim Al-Rimi. He also played an important role in bringing American hostages back home.
“Kash Patel did unprecedented work before me, including serving as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense and as Senior Director of Counterterrorism at the National Security Council and Deputy Director of National Intelligence,” Trump said. Under Kash Patel’s leadership, the FBI will combat the scourge of cross-border drug trafficking and human trafficking and end crime in America by rooting out migrant criminal gangs.
